so this is seriously strange and I don't have an explanation for it
right now. Something breaking on this level means that Bluetooth devices
are not even registered. And that would be an obvious bug to detect.

Can you check with hciconfig -a if the device is actually there, but
might have some weird flags set.

I have no idea on how this can break anything for you. Since tools like
hcitool and hciconfig use HCI_CHANNEL_RAW. This must be a nasty side
effect somewhere if this is really fix it for you.

Can you start your bluetoothd with -P mgmtops to check if this might be
causing some side effects.

Marcel
